Do the political right believe in 'Cancel Culture?'

I think the do, only because they practice it often enough. The blocking option is meant to be to stop abuse, not arguments that you disagree with.

In the last two days I've been blocked for asking for evidence that the US election was fixed (he didn't wanna play that 'game' because I have too much 'bias'). Also, I got blocked by a Modi supporter for calling him a Modi supporter and for saying that the movement he supports has a link with the European radical right. His question was about Muslim immigration to the west and the current Indian government is very anti Muslim. He knew all of that but was pretending not to.

Its ironic that the right complain about people being canceled and 'safe space' culture when so many just block anyone who challenges their world view.

Right wingers now block frequently when asked for actual evidence of the Big Lie (that Trump won the election), because evidence does not exist and they cannot provide any. So I would say yes, they believe in cancelling others that do not believe as they do. It has happened all along on SW, but may seem like more now due to the huge influx of Trump Cultists from Yahoo a few months ago.
